Cougar Karen Younger Men Seemed To Like Me
The number of divorces was highest last year among men and women aged 45 to 49. If current trends continue, newly single people will be getting back into the dating game in their 50s.
So, for all those who can remember actually dialling a phone number, where’s best to find love? My friends advised using the app Bumble. It’s like Tinder if Tinder had brushed its teeth.
Tinder is weird and random. The first time on Tinder, I was matched by some chap who, within minutes, asked me to beat him up. I stopped in the street to unmatch him only to have my phone stolen by a thief on a moped. And so I was saved. God works in mysterious ways. Tinder was not quite a nest of psychos but it came very close.
The case for older women
Even more amazing was that friends told me they’d found really nice men on sites with absolutely the worst names. Yet who am I, a 53-year-old woman, to deny happiness found at such places as toyboywarehouse.com, which is, I guess, a site aimed at younger men who like older women.
Why date an older woman? I struggled to come up with any good reasons, outside of the fact that many of us have our own money, don’t want children, don’t want marriage, aren’t afraid of nudity, can drive, cook, drink and scold.
We don’t suffer fools. We are educated, or experienced at least. We may not always triumph over our younger, marriage-desiring, more volatile, extremely fertile and higher-pitched rivals, but it’s not a competition, is it? Research done by Dr Hayley Wright, from Coventry University, confirms that sex remains as appealing and important to us across a lifetime, just as the idea older people doing it seems nasty and repugnant to those who think they will stay young forever.
